Oh Anne....Linda is the most precious, uplifting soul!!! She is one of the first friends that encouraged me to publish my artwork and I've always, ALWAYS admired her incredible taste!!!! I love that you are working with Linda and Ludmil ~ they are both such amazing artists....and I wish you much success with that new camera, I'm sure you will master it soon!!!! hugs and love, Dawn

Congrats with the exciting news Anne. That´s so good for you and I hope everything turnes out the way you want. You so deserve it. Congrats with you new camera too - sound like an awesome one. LOVE your photos - you know that.xo Tina

Hi Anne, I am only just catching up with all your news as I have been off the computer for a few weeks. This is great news, a jaw droppingly gorgeous new camera, fabulous photo shoots coming up and and and........ you go girl, you are fabulous!

Hi Anne,That is an awesome camera. My camera has taken a beating so I'm in the market for a new one (someday). Congrats on the photo shoot. I'm not familiar with this lovely couple but I'll be looking for the photos.Continued prayers,leslie

You are going to have a great time. The two of them together are just a match made in heaven. I like to call Ludmil Prince Charming...he is just that courtly and cool...and Linda IS his Cinderella....although the way she has with glitter almost makes her the Fairy Godmother of us all.Have fun...we may show up!Deb

This calls for a bunch of woo-hoos! Just staying with this talented couple is an experience in and of itself and then all the extra added perks of photographing there and at the antiques how. Fantastic! Good for you! My husband bought a new fancy camera for his business trip to Thailand and Vietnam. Might have to snag it when he gets back. Best wishes, Tammy

Love this news! You are going to have way tooooo much fun!!!!!!I am so happy for you:) Oh and congrats on that fabulous camera! How awesome is that???? Big hugs to you!!!~Debra xxxCapers of the vintage vixens

I'm trying to get off with my honey for the weekend to the Winter Antiques Show, if we can get kids covered...it's only 3 hours away!!I'll let you know if we are coming :)Becky C

That camera rocks! Your shoot will yield some amazing images with that bad boy! Congrats on all that is happening to you right now - I hope the rest of your year will continue in the same way. And I hope that the little glitch from last week has been laid to rest - don't want things like that getting in the way! Have a great week Anne!

Yay!!! I am so excited for you! What a blessing! You are going to do amazing things Anne! Tommy and I are still thinking about being there. I could really use a fun weekend right about now! Congratulations!!!

I can't wait to see the photos! Linda is AMAZING! I have seen her at a number of shows but, my friend Diane Cook & our husbands had the pleasure of viewing Linda's property in Burton. The B&B, studio, & Ludmill's shop. DARLING! You will have a blast. I may try to pop down for the show. Kind of a spur of the moment thing if I can talk Hubby into it. Enjoy that new camera. HUGS! Charlene

Wow! Congrats on the photo shoot, the CAMERA!, and the publishing opportunities coming your way. It's great that you have taken this new camera and are learning it in manual mode first rather than easing right into auto...it's easier to master the bells and whistles that way! Enjoy your weekend. ~ Angela

How wonderful, Anne! I remember when I first came across their property they had for sale in Texas (I think) while blog-hopping one day. I just fell in LOVE with it!! They're style is so unique and beautiful... so creative! Have fun taking all those fun pics. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that your pics get published!!Have a great day!xoxo,Jo :)

Woo Hooness for you, little Annie! OH, how wonderful and I'm so proud for you! You'll do a fabulous job. Congratulations on your new fancy dancy camera! I think God is smiling really big on you right now! :)Be a sweetie,Shelia ;)

Anne, isn't that just like life...it starts to rain from a big, heavy, dark cloud and then...it opens up to a silver lining...I hope there are many silver linings in your photographic future and that whatever happened that made you sad and afraid is all in the past.Blessings and hugs,Diane

Congratulations! Your photography is beautiful and so very inspiring. I received a D5000 for my birthday this year and I'm still struggling with it. I look at your photos and say to myself... I CAN do it!

Anne, congratulations with those wonderfull jobs,and the new camera wuuhuuu-must be real exiting being with the two talented people.I hope you are feeling much better now, dear,and wishes you a great week.XO Dorthe

What sweet news, Anne, to have this opportunity to do this photo shoot AND a super new camera! I am overjoyed for you, dear friend, and I will continue to have you in my heart and prayers. Enjoy this weekend with Linda and Ludmil, who sound like very gracious and sincere friends.

That is such good news!! So awesome Anne! Love your new camera. I use to work for a retail website and they used both Nkon and Canon for our photo shoots... I like Nikon the best! So happy for your success!! :)

Oh gosh Anne, you already had a big girl camera but that new one is so rockin! Love hearing about all your wonderful new developments. And I really liked seeing a landscape scene with no snow in it! HA! More on the way for us. xoxo ~Lili

Oh my,,wonderful news, Linda and Ludmil! I knew them when they first started showing in Oregon. They are so inovative and ahead of their time, real trendsetters. Have a wonderful time, I know you will loose yourself in the shoot, It's a whole new life for you with your amazing bad boy camera. Keep the balance, I will send the prayers for you.LoveMarcie

Congratulations! I was at the Round Top winter show all day yesterday. Sorry I missed you. I don't think I saw any faces because I was so focused on all of the amazing stuff. Bought a few small things but could have bought a ton of stuff!

How very exciting! I met Linda & Ludmil many years ago when we were all still in the Northwest - they headed to Texas and I headed East. I miss seeing them and their wonderful work. They are two of the sweetest people I have ever met. You should have the best time - lovely people, lovely displays...all in all it should be a perfectly lovely day!
